Some new information about the upcoming 39th Super Sentai Series, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, was released at the ToQger VS Kyoryuger Movie press conference this week. We now have short character bios for the entire Ninninger team!

Takaharu/Akaninger:
A typical Red Ranger like today’s generation who dashes forward into action without thinking of a plan or strategy. He is a very optimistic person and takes care of everybody even if it turns out bad. He is the big brother of Fuka.

Yakumo/”Cloud”/AoNinger:
He has already accepted his destiny to become one of the Ninningers before coming home to Japan (after studying Western magic in England). He is the coolest and polite person in the team even thought he has only one facial expression.

Nagi/KiNinger:
A simple but fun-loving person who doesn’t even bother about his future. He quietly observes things to improve himself and being a ninja seems to fit him perfectly.

Fuka/ShrioNinger:
The youngest sister of Takaharu whom he cherishes and protects a lot. Lighthearted but has a strong will. She tends to get angry when she is depressed.

Kasumi/MomoNinger:
A smart girl who loves science and all things mechanical. She has a sharp tongue and keeps her girly side at bay without showing her emotions.

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger premieres February 15, 2015!

In what appears to be a a complete accident at least one copy of the Shout! Factory Super Sentai Zyuranger DVD Set has made it’s way to a happy owner ahead of it’s February 17th release!

Twitter user @TucsonPRZealot has just let the world know that he’s received his Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger set early! And he’s been kind enough to share in hand images of this sets packaging along with screen caps of the menus and a tease of the subtitles!

Kamen Rider # 3 is about to make his grand debut in the up coming Super Hero Taisen GP movie and for the first time we’re given a look at the suit in all of it’s glory thanks to a new movie poster that just hit the web.

Kamen Rider # 3 is indeed another modern take on the Ichigo/Nigo design but the interesting thing is that the color pattern for his scarf matches that of the Shocker Rider.

Whether or not this new Rider will be friend or foe remains to be seen we’ll just have to wait for more trailers to find out!

A new image from the filming of 39th Super Sentai Series Shuriken Sentai Ninninger has surfaced online, giving us a clear look at the Enemy Foot Soldiers for this new season!

While unnamed, the basic enemy design is apparently based on the Ashigaru– army soldiers from the age of feudal Japan. The exact relation between these monster soldiers and the Yokai that will appear & fight against the Ninningers remains unknown at the time of writing.

If you haven’t been following Marvel’s current run of Amazing Spider-Man then now may be the time. Though we wouldn’t typically cover this kind of thing today’s latest issue, Amazing Spider-Man #12 featured the return of 2 very familiar faces for the tokusatsu community. Making his first official appearance since his 1979 TV Series is Toei’s Spider-Man! And along for the ride is his faithful transforming mecha Marveler/Leopardon!

The currently ongoing Spider-verse storyline has seen the entire Marvel Multiverse assaulted by the Morlun family of killers. They’ve been hopping between dimensions plotting to and in some cases succeeding in murdering various Spider-heroes. Now a ragtag team of the remaining spiders with the Earth-616 Peter Parker at the lead are trying desperately to win the war. Just in time to lend a helping hand (and maybe a gigantic sword?!) Spider-man & Leopardon enter the fray! Though it’s only briefly seen Leopardon is soundly defeated with Spider-Man AKA Takuya Yamashiro (or Supaidaman) escaping with his brothers and sisters from other worlds.

A fun and interesting nod to the the beloved 1978-1979 series. Most likely a one-off instance, but personally I’d love to see more of this duo in official Marvel comics of this nature.

Filming is currently under way for the next Kamen Rider Drive special episode Secret Mission 3. Similarly to Hyper Battle Videos of the past this special episode will feature a new form for Drive, Type High Speed! Though blurry these images give us our first look at the suit.

Type High Speed is a primarily silver repaint of Type Speed with the red Type High Speed Tire attached. Though we initially thought this was just a new form for Drive, one of these images shows Type High Speed engaged in battle against defualt Drive Type Speed! And another shows High Speed fighting Kamen Rider Mach. We also get our first glimpse of the Mega Max Flare Tire & Shift car as well.

We’ll keep you updated as we learn more about this upcoming special.
